I was wondering what could be wrong with my computer.I have a compaq windows xp and after typing for a while the words do not show up on the screen and I have to sit and wait after typing for them to appear.Then my hard drive begins making a loud noise that sounds kind of like a vaccuum cleaner.The longer I type the slower it gets until it seems the words take forever to appear on the screen.If I turn my computer off and let it rest a minute the problem is gone when I turn it back on.It's really frustrating because the more I turn it off to fix it the sooner it starts happening again.Any suggestions?

I read some where that you can save disk space by partitioning drives. Is that recommended, is it difficult? Can a person mess up their pc if they don't do it correctly? I'm new at this, I just added another 512MB RAM although system properties shows total RAM as 960Mb, I had 512Mb before, I thought 512 + 512 was 1024Mb? I' confused.

I started with 512Mb, that came with my HP pavillion slimline, Intel CPU 420 @ 106GHz, I just added another 512Mb. System properties show total RAM 960MB, shouldn't that be 1024? Windows media player 10 tells me I'm low on memory when I try to use it, and computer is slightly faster in some ways after the upgrade, but slower loading paging on line than it was before. What does it take??

I had 512 Mb when I bought my pc in Jan., I just added another 512 Mb board last week, system properties shows 960 Mb of RAM. Shouldn't that be a total of 1024Mb? 1G- I don't get it. Then tonight I go to use my media player, and it tells me I don't have enough. I run disk cleanup regularly, I used defrag a few days ago. Is there something else I can try? How much RAM does a person need??

I've got a P4 2.5 Ghz with a 500 watt power supply, 1 GB RAM, and an ATI X1300 video card. I've taken a side panel off of the computer so that it won't overheat since the video card gets very hot, and have a fan blowing into the PC itself. If I don't have the fan blowing into the PC, it will crash several minutes into playing games such as Far Cry. Also when I was burning a DVD with the fan on, it still crashed. I'm getting quite frustrated about what is causing the crashes because I don't want to ruin my computer. Thanks!

Like a sphere, or a face, maybe a skull. Would you buy a computer from someone/company making computers in these types of cases. Would you just buy the case?

Please help me:-
for her homework my daughter has been given some maths to work out. I think that the information on the sheet is wrong. Can anyone confirm this and correct were nessasary:-

1 Gigabyte = 1000 megabytes
1 megabyte = 1000 kilobytes
1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes.

I do not belive that this information is very accurate. If it is wrong my meeting at the school will be very interesting on thursday.

I have an emachines that is about to die. I put a power supply in it & have been told the motherboard could go at any time. I need another computer. I dont have cash. I've applied for credit through Dell, but was denied. I was offered credit through a company that only seems to have HP's, Acer's (which I've rarely heard of) & Lenovo's (which I've never heard of). Out of these, which would be the best? I dont think I'll be able to get credit anywhere else, if my computer dies on me. Any honest input is appreciated. Thanx!

Yesterday, I noticed my power cord for my desktop computer is starting to show so wearing. Question is do I buy any random power cord? Or do I find a power cord that is compatible with the fan? From what I can notice by looking at the computer, the power cord is inserted next to the computer fan. Are these things related or not? I have a power cord that originally came with my desktop computer, but someone I got a second power cord when I took my computer to get serviced a few years ago.
